What reading level is American Statesmen And Patriots of the United States ... book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Never, with my consent, bhall an officer of the people, compensated for his services out of their pockets, become the pliant instrument of executive will.
There is no part of the means placed in the hands of the executive which might be used with greater effect for unhallowed purposes, than the control of the public press. The maxim which our ancestors derived from the mother country, that " the freedom of the press is the great bulwark of civil and religious liberty," is one of the most precio...us legacies which they have left us. We have learned, too, from our own, as well as the experience of other countries, that golden shackles, by whomsoever, of HARRISON'S INAUGURAL ADDRESS. 351 cy whatever pretence imposed, are as fatal to it as tho iron bonds of despotism. The presses in the necessary employment of government should never be used to " Ciear the guilty or to varnish crimes." A decent and manly examination of the acts of the government should be not only tolerated but encouraged.
Upon another occasion, I have given my opinion, at some length, upon the impropriety of executive interfer- ence in the legislation of Congress ; that the article in the constitution, making it the duty of the president to communicate information, and authorizing him to recom- mend measures, was not intended to make him the source of legislation, and, in particular, that he should never be looked to for schemes of finance.
